How Huntersville Rolls Out To Fires
The Huntersville Fire Department operates four stations across town, with Station 1 based at 14515 South Old Statesville Road and Station 3 at 13423 Eastfield Road among them. The department’s website, which lists recent structure calls, shows that working fires typically draw multiple stations to the scene.
Status, Staffing And Safety
On its X account, Huntersville Fire notes that it staffs 23 full-time and more than 70 part-time firefighter-EMTs and answers roughly 7,000 calls a year. When several crews are tied up on a long-running residential fire, the department often adjusts station coverage and brings in mutual aid from neighboring departments to keep the rest of town covered.
Recent Local Context
In recent months, Huntersville crews have seen their share of structure fires. In March, Stations 1, 3 and 4, along with Cornelius Fire, fought a working house fire on Fremington Road that injured one firefighter and displaced three residents, according to the department’s account. That response underscored how quickly a single call can pull multiple companies from across town.
No additional details about injuries or the cause of the Bryton Parkway blaze were included in the department’s initial post. Residents in the area are being asked to steer clear of the scene and to yield to emergency vehicles while crews finish up their work.
